125 pounds of Norton yields ~ 12 gallons of must when run through a crusher-destemmer.
I was quite pleased to find it at ~20 Brix / 1.080 SSG when I got it home. 6 ounces of French medium oak in, and I pop the yeast in tomorrow. This is the first must I have not had to chaptalize, IIRC. If I had waited one more week, the grapes would have been gone by. Perfect timing, and a discount on the price, too!
